2. Campaign or Donation Services
• When you create a Campaign on the Site and ask for Donations, you understand that you are entering into separate legal agreements with both Tallafi and the Donors, Tallafi is not a part of the contract between Campaign Creators and their Donors. The following rules apply (in addition to all other Terms and Additional Policies);
Be responsive. Respond promptly and truthfully to all questions posed by Donors and any questions or requests Tallafi makes.
All Donations are made voluntarily and at the sole discretion and risk of the Donor.
Tallafi Does Not Guarantee that Campaigns Will Succeed or that Donations will Be Delivered or Deemed Satisfactory. By contributing to a Campaign, Donors are supporting an idea, Campaign, or cause they care about and want to help make happen. Like anyone getting in on an early-stage Campaign, Donors accept the risk that the Campaign may experience changes, delays, and unforeseen challenges, or that a Campaign, and its Donations, might not come to fruition. Tallafi does not guarantee or represent that Donations will be used as promised, that Campaign Owners will deliver Donations, or that the Campaign will achieve its goals. Tallafi undertakes no duty to investigate claims made by Campaign Owners. Tallafi also does not endorse, guarantee, make representations, or provide warranties regarding the quality, safety, morality or legality of any Campaign, Donation or Donation, or the truth or accuracy of any User Content posted on the Services. The date to deliver a Donation is an estimate by the Campaign Owner (not Tallafi), and there is no guarantee that the Campaign Owner will fulfill and deliver the Donation by that date. No transfer of title to tangible personal property occurs through Tallafi.
Users and campaign sponsors agree and acknowledge that all operations of Tallafi as well as this Terms and Conditions are subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and any other applicable international law or international best practice.
Limited Refund. Tallafi offers a limited refund to Donors, subject to the Refund Policy, only where the Campaign has not ended, the Donor has not received a Donation (as confirmed by Tallafi), and the Donation has not been sent to the Campaign Owner. Tallafi does not offer refunds outside Our Refund Policy, but may do so under our sole discretion. Where refunds are not available under the Refund Policy, a Donor may contact the Campaign Owner directly to request a refund. Tallafi has no obligation to participate or become involved in any dispute between Donor and Campaign Owner concerning a refund.
Bank Account to Bank Account Transfer Charges. When you Contribute to a Campaign, you’re the participating and or settlement bank may apply charges. This is not within Tallafi’s control . You will be charged the amount of the Donation after you confirm and submit your bank account information
Debit Card Charges. When you Contribute to a Campaign, your card will be charged the amount of the Donation after you confirm and submit your payment information.
Communications Between Campaign Owners and Donors. Once you have made a Donation to a Campaign, the Campaign Owners may need to contact you to obtain additional information such as shipping address, specific preferences for a Donation (for example, color or size of a t-shirt), or may ask for feedback on the Campaign or the Donation. In some instances, to receive the Donation, you may need to provide requested information within a specific time frame to receive the Donation, not doing so may result in your forfeiting the Donation. Campaign Owners should not ask for information that is not required to fulfill a Donation, including personal information such as National Identity numbers or credit card/banking information. Please contact us here if you receive a request for information that appears to be excessive.
Updates. Provide substantive and quality updates once in a while to Donors.
Comply with Laws. Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the use of Donations.
Be Truthful and Transparent. Campaign Owners should be ready, willing, and able to substantiate claims your Campaign makes. Tallafi may terminate your account, withhold funds, or other actions to enforce its rights under this Terms and Conditions and applicable law.
